In the next few episodes I will share some fascinating writings on the Himalayas. In the first part of this series I narrate a short essay by Ruskin Bond, where he describes his experience of spending a night in a remote Himalayan village.

Here is another short story from the Quran. Again, this story comes originally from the Hebrew Bible, whereas in the Qur'an you'd find slightly different versions of these stories.

In this short episode let me narrate the story of David and Goliath as it is mentioned in the Qur'an.

Continuing the theme of Islam, I am going to narrate a few stories from the Qur'an in the next few days. These stories are taken from Tafsir Ibn Kathir. This book is the most renowned and accepted explanation of the Quran.

I discuss the controversial issues related to Islam which often divide today's politics. The Muslim world has to grapple with these questions and settle them, if different cultures are going to live in peace and harmony with each other. Let me know your thoughts.

To understand Islam, we have to understand its primary source, the Qur'an. In this podcast I discuss the approach we need while reading and interpreting the sacred text. Please share your feedback and questions at www.kalampedia.org.

Wishing Happy Ramadan to all the Muslims out there. In this series I am going to discuss some of the historical, political and philosophical aspects of Islam. Stay tuned. Don't forget to subscribe.

In this episode I briefly talk about the history of The Gitas (remember there is not just one, The Bhagavad Gita), and how they have evolved over time.

Indian religions have a peculiar approach which cannot be understood in a typical western manner. This book by the former Indian president Dr Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan discusses the theological aspects of religions and at the same time guides us to build bridges to connect with each other.

On a different note, this is the 300th episode of this podcast. Thank you so much for your positive response. Keep following!
